“Gee, that’s not my hair you’re smelling… hehehehe...” – that chick with luscious Cocker Spaniel hair, who obviously just farted and is really happy about it

Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific was a line of shampoo and conditioners from the 70s and 80s that supposedly smelled so terrific that as soon as the people around you got a nostril full of the terrific scent wafting off of your hair, they’d say, “Gee, your hair smells terrific!” It was put out by Jergens and was apparently highly popular until for some reason, it went away and everyone’s hair no longer smelled terrific.

I feel like I missed out on something important, because I never got to say, “Gee, your hair smells terrific,” since I don’t know what it smells like. So I went on a massive hunt, that took me all of 5 seconds thanks to Google, to find out what exactly did GYHST smell like. I expected to read that it smelled like cheeseburgers, or churros, or Suave strawberry-scented shampoo, or money, or Angelyne’s farts, because those are all things that smell terrific! I came across one site that described the scent like this:

I can still vividly remember the commercial for Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific, and the fragrant floral and spicy smell would last all day and night after washing and drying my hair

“Floral and spicy“? Definitely like Angelyne’s farts. It’s kind of surprising that Jergens hasn’t rebooted GYHST for the millennials and changed the name to “YAAASSSS, Kween, Your Hair Cape Smells Cray! I’m Dead!”

Here’s a commercial from the olden days for GYHST:

In many hair commercials of yore, everyone’s hair looks so straight, shiny and full and it makes me want to say, “Gee, your hair looks like a polyester wig and I want that!”
